I don't really care if this is implemented or not.
I think this is not the greatest idea, this needs heavy modification. </3

Suggestion for new Arrow Upkeep

Currently, in my glorious opinion, the new arrow upkeep is overly complicated and non-sensical.

Unlike every other piece of equipment which uses a flat chance of breaking and a flat percentage of upkeep, arrows go against this and have a higher chance of breaking. This is needlessly confusing.

My suggestion is simple:
  • Remove the new mechanic of arrows breaking more often and use the standard mechanic that everything else uses.
  • Increase Base Price of ammunition, and thus the base upkeep, to match the overal long-term upkeep of what the new complex system has.

This will simplify things greatly, as well as remove unneeded code for a second system that is used just for the arrows.

Keep It Sweetly Simple

Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.

I agree there isn't any reason to have their arrows break at a higher chance, it just doesn't fit the logic of the rest of the upkeep system. In fact it could really fuck new players who maybe play a bit as melee and then get to arrows and don't understand why their stuff is breaking all the time.

Have it all break at the same rate, increase the base cost. There isn't any reason to make things have exceptions and special cases.

I wonder how many people are doing such extremist votes simply because of how I worded the Poll options!  :lol:

I said decrease the frequency... of it breaking... to normal breakage times... so long term it is the same... and make the percentage normal as well... 7% like everything else not 13-ish... :/ long term it will be the same... :/
